upper back pain anyone?

I have had an awesome pregnancy and I am very lucky. I am just wondering if anyone is having upper back pain. My pain is so bad in my upper back and friends who have had kids in the past say that the upper back pain can't stem from this pregnancy as you only get lower back pain. I have had no lower back... Just feel like I have a tonne of knots in my shoulder blades and upper back. It kills me!!

I have upper back pain too which is definitely from pregnancy. Your friends are misinformed. When you are carrying that much weight in front your whole back can be affected. You have muscles in your upper back that are trying to help out the already-overworked muscles in your lower back. Also, relaxin can cause our spines to move all over the place causing muscle and nerve strain. When I stand up and walk around I can feel my spine grinding and popping at times from this. Our posture while walking isn't what it used to be either. I suggest a visit to a chiropractor. Just make sure they have experience in treating pregnant women. Mine has been a God send. You don't have to suffer! Good luck!

Yes! And it's due to my huge belly! Im feeling the weight pulling down my upper half! My doctor also suggested a support belt but I haven't gotten one yet--my upper back pain comes from being up on my feet all day, so I have been trying to sit more while teaching and it has helped. Everything is off balance---!

Phew! Glad I am not the only one! When dh massages my back, he can feel the massive knots in my back and feels awesome when he massages them. I get worried at times as I have heard getting regular back massages from inexperienced people such as dh - it can bring on labour? This true? Coz I get about 5 good hard massages from dh a day because the pain is so intense and painful :(

I suffer too. Right between my shoulder blades. I don't know about you but my boobs have grown and I'm sure the extra weight is one cause. Sleep position and heartburn/ indigestion is another. Definitely pregnancy related.
